On this episode of the playbook I have James Kraus, UFC, Welter, Weight, Fighter, and Entrepreneur,

and we're going to talk about combating fear, being a thinker and a fighter, that's a rarity, and why he sees consequences as a positive occurrence

join me for all of this and more on the playbook this is entrepreneurs the

playbook each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes

celebrities and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success

and what made them champions on the field and in the board

room.

I'm your host and CEO of Sports One Marketing, David Melzer.

This is Day Melzer with entrepreneurs of the playbook and another terrifying

playbook here because I have a U.S.C. Welterweight past lightweight fighter. James

Krause, welcome to the playbook. I'm very excited to be here.

Thanks for having me. You know, entrepreneurs and UFC fighters have a lot in common.

That's why I love having you guys on, because the playbook to success really revolves around how you manage

the truth and fear because I don't think there's anything more terrifying I

played college football and I think I'd still do it as much as everyone's afraid but I don't like I have been in the biggest I mean the

the UFC arenas I've been and I don't even like stepping into those things. It's terrifying.

Yeah, I mean I think just like with anything you get desensitized to it over, I mean I've been fighting for 13 years I have over 60 fights that's just in

a mass not including you know judicial competition kickboxing whatever so I think at

some point just like with anything I'm afraid of heights right so but if I went

skydiving every day for the next year it wouldn't be a big deal after you know a month probably so I think you just get desensitized to it

If you allow yourself to be obviously you know you still see the the mental lapses and the breaks all the time with

with with people but for me I've been doing it for so long I think it's just kind of a part of me
